New Pew Research poll - Muslims opinions on Islam

[Heat]

I'll first start off by saying it's not exactly what I wanted to see, to be completely honest. I've been a big proponent of clarifying that most Muslims are peaceful and we shouldn't generalize on this forum through my posts. I am not retracting that, I haven't analyzed the data, I don't know whether or not something wasn't considered, etc. However, it says it in my signature and i'll say it here, Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions. So regardless of what I think, I feel that people should see this if they haven't already.

Also, Islam's projected growth rate:



As I said, I haven't read the entire thing, I just found out about it an hour or so ago. I'll read it in the morning. I really dislike the idea of generalizing, or belittling a group of peoples, i'm not trying to be on a moral high horse, I just hate arriving at conclusions about people, as in like "This is what you are" if you get what I mean, so I am not thrilled to read it after seeing that poll, however I think a lot of people will want to discuss it so, discuss.

Edit:
Another important poll[Characteristics Westerners and Muslims associate with eachother];

The question to ask here is what do each of them mean by Sharia because there are multiple interpretations of it. Another question is what they mean by favoring it. Do they want it applied to non-Muslims as well? Or just Muslims?

Most interpretations include throwing rocks, though.
